Hi to all,
on my Fortigate 100D i did already use the two wan1 e wan 2 interface to connect two different provider.
I'm now on the way to add another Internet connection from another provider. Can I use any of the free internal interfaces?
If so, will I be able to still use 'WAN Link Load balancing'? Is there really a difference between the Wan and the Internal interface? If so, what are them?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Yes any free port can be used, the name is just a name but I 'm using DMZ interfaces on some models for my WAN.
I believe some ports have different drivers and not all ports operate as 1000mbps which is not revelant to a FGT100D but yes the ports are about the same outside of the ethernet-layer2 address
For link-load or wan-virtual interface, you should be able to add it as a member. Just make sure you check any port discrepancies before adding it. ( DHCP-server, vip, fwpolicy, etc.......)
Good luck.
